Hospital Admission and Instructions by Physician

Years ago I think it was basically standard practice for a doctor to order an enema to a patient admitted for a hospital stay. I'm wondering if anyone has such forms they would post ?

My grandmother who was a nurse working at the local hospital back in the 50s 60s and 70s said that a enema or two was standard practice when one was admitted

I would had appreciated getting one by the next day after they took out the catheter from my penis. I would had probably been alright constipation wise the rest of my stay. They didn't really seem too concerned about bowel movements while I was there a few months ago.
